So should I get them from auto wreckers? Will locksmith be able to match used ones?

Well a screwdriver was jammed inside it. Someone tried to get access into my vehicle. If I put my key in, it won't turn. I'm not sure if tumblers are bad but I will take both to the locksmith with me. Would they have tumbles in stock, is it ford specific?

Ya that's what I wanted to know. Is there a way it come be done at home by myself. Anyone know what the locksmith does to rekey?? Just curious.

Well i got a new (well used from the wreckers) door lock cylinder for the drivers side of my 98 explorer. Is there a way to match my key with the new cylinder? If so how thanks. great forums... :)

well that WORKED and now my vehicle STARTS. Thank you very much!!! What i have to do is slam the steering wheel down Ill still need to gt it fixed. i wonder if they'll still need to charge me the 130 to diagnose the problem. Is it just the wiring then, hopefully it's not the module...

I will take it in this sat. Hopefully I can get it started so I don't have to tow it in. Ford charges $130 to diagnose, 90mins. If they can fix in that 90mins I only pay 130+parts. If this is the problem, is it a long job? Thanks for the help

any other opinions??? Im going to take it into ford on sat if i cannot figure with your help.

also should mention that there never was a remote to unlock doors etc from Ford. And a few years back the after market (i installed when i purchased vehicle) alarm stopped working. since then ive just used the key to gain access and start the vehicle.

No never had one.

No damage to door. Everything worked fine even after driver side lock was damaged. Then all of a sudden truck won't start. Thought pats was conn maybe. Oh well time to fix this anyways. What about matching a key with the ignition. Is this possible ? Or will I have diff key for door & ignition

Anyone have a guide on how to change this out? Someone has punched it in with a screwdriver ive taken off the panel and have access to the back of the cylinders. There seems to be an electrical component attached to the back of the cylinder but there doesnt seem to be a connection between...
